I have an idea that just may work.

When you run apps a file or folder is made in your home directory that stores it's prefs and settings. This folders name will begin with a . so it will be invisable. If you are in the gui make sure you set the file manager to see invisable files. Go into the .Mozzila folder in your home dir and back up your bookmarks and whatever else you may need then blow away the folder. The next time you run Mozzila it should run like it was the first time and will create a new set of prefs hopefully without the crap that caused it to crash.
